Nissan Cylinder Head QD32 assembly 171316
171316The QD32 cylinder head assembly 171316 suits mechanics and rebuilders who want a straight replacement without dealing with worn or uneven sealing surfaces. The head sits nicely on the block, and the mounting points follow the original QD32 layout. Most technicians choose this assembly when the old head warps after overheating or when a crack appears between the valves.
Another thing worth noting is how the coolant and oil passages line up cleanly, which helps avoid the usual sealing headaches during installation. The casting comes smooth and ready for your valves, springs, and other top-end parts. In most cases, the head works well for fleet repairs because the QD32 engine often runs long hours and eventually needs a top-end refresh.
Why this cylinder head makes sense for QD32 engines
- Fits the Nissan QD32 platform without modification
- Supports better compression if the old head shows pitting or surface wear
- Helps solve common overheating damage and gasket failure
- Works well for routine rebuilds, workshop jobs, and long-hour commercial vehicles
You install your parts, torque it down, and the engine usually settles into a smoother rhythm. That’s what most technicians look for—something that fits right and helps the engine run steady again.
